I shall remember the name JOE RYAN because anytime I feel depressed, I watch his videos with his beautiful narration editing and his contagious smile. Truly Thankful to you man.
what an epic journey, thanks for taking us with you. It's amazing how often, as a motorcyclist, a helping hand can just appear out of nowhere when things seem to be going a little south. Safe travels!
thank you for the support, it is greatly appreciated and will help with the next journey. Yes amazing how that happens and the people up here in Ladakh are very friendly and kind.
Thank you as always Larry. Yes it definitely is barren up there, nothing around at all. As I am on the high plato now and the mountain just go up from there it will be a lot of barren section over the next few episodes.
Outstanding as always Joe .... those two famous sentence's of yours .... cant wait to see what's around the next corner and Go with the flow ....the universe always provides for as ... love from NZ roger
Thanks Roger, as always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes it's amazing home many new things were around the next corner. Yes things seem to work out if you go with it.
I did that same route last year Joe - it’s fantastic isnt it. I was in a group (funnily enough the same tour company that you passed - Ride Expeditions). I take your point about the lack of flexibility versus solo, but for me the cameraderie and friends I made outways that, and it was well run so that we could stop whenever we wanted for photos. And the back up van carried the beer 🍻
Yes Jim it is an incredible place to ride and explore. Yes definitely great benefits as you said with the camaraderie and friends, haha and beer trailing you is never a bad thing.
Simply wonderful! I love that there was a RE Classic on that road too.- proving again that we don't need the biggest and newest bike to travel through beautiful places.
Love these videos i rode these roads a month ago and i missing them already it's weird how many little things i recognise looking forward to seeing your next vids
even northern and eastern ladakh has some brilliant canvas right across the karakoram pass which are not open for normal public. rivers and stunning gorges with vast open landscapes . hopefully some day.
That’s a great days riding . The More plains have changed a lot . It was dirt track last time I went , thick sand . On a bullet 500 . Love your style . I was medic on many organised tours in the Himalayas . Loved it out there , but the altitude was hard for many
You love it Julian, so much more happens than I can show in these episode and there is no way to capture the actual scenery as awe-inspiring as it is in real life. Don't put it off to much longer they are on a mission to pave all the roads. Thanks for watching.
I have watched many people , doing Ladakh journey videos, but your journey is different and awesome 👍. I have been assuming myself in your seat and enjoyed your journey as mine 😊
Joe this landscapes so barren so amazing and then some tar roads in the mountains insane. Amazing adventure Joe and the people and places must be mind blowing in the mountains Thanks for taking us on the journey Thanks heaps Dave
yes Dave, the people are so kind and helpful, and the scenery is truly mind-blowing, its hard to capture on camera. It's great to hear you are still enjoining the episodes
I came across your channel while planning a ride through the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. Keep inspiring us with your amazing adventures and stunning photos of nature! - Arun from India
What an incredible landscape! Always love a great rock formation, and there are plenty here. Watched another video a few weeks ago on Leh, so looking forward to your next one. Cheers,
These are the most amazing videos for a Royal Enfield owner ❤. (Just a little comment: the altitude in meters is a bit off hahaha it is 4.739,8 m 10:14 )
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yer all the signs at the top seem to be a bit off, if they had both the feet and metres a lot of the times they didn't add up to the same height, some being 50m (164ft) deferent so I normally went with the metres measurement I could find. But all of them where spectacular no matter what the number was.
During 2021 covid times, did the same road trip to Leh and after watching your videos just refreshed those memories of that epic and breath-taking journey. Thank you!!
LOL! Every time you encountered those diesel fumes you had me literally holding my breath. Some of those magnificent views started to bring on a vertigo attack ha ha. Ever thought about packing a parachute 🤣 Nice one Joe 👍
Yes lost of hold my breath but at altitude it has it's own dangers haha. Yes a truly stunning and an incredible day on the bike. It's great to hear you enjoyed it.
I love all your videos. You cover everything possible in your episodes. If possible please include drone shots also as this will enhance the experience and the viewers will get more to know about the beauty of Ladakh. I am sure one day all the off roading and water passings will vanish once Tarmac roads are build. Riders will definitely miss them. The real feel of mountains is in adventure rather than sailing on smooth roads. Overall I enjoyed watching your episodes. How was your experience of Himalayas?
@@anuragverma3776 The Himalayas were incredible riding and exploring there is like discovering a different world. There are restrictions on flying drones in the area so I am sticking to the rules and flying where I am allow as I don't want to get into trouble as I want to be able to come back to this amazing place. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
De rien, je suis ravie d'entendre que vous avez apprécié l'épisode, j'espère que vous apprécierez le reste de la série. J'ai traversé la Haute Savoie, c'est une belle partie du monde
Hi Joe, great video - fog, mud, dust, rocks, hail. It had it all. The colours and rock formations are amazing. Just, beautiful scenery. Thanks Joe, safe riding. Looking forward to next Friday 👍🇦🇺
I've watched a few Himalayan tour vlogs, but yours hit different and so unique. Witnessing it with your eyes is quite breathtaking. I'm grateful for this series.
Joe... Another amazing episode mate. Those mountains and the formations and colours. Just amazing. God did an awesome job putting all that together. Cheers mate. 👍🍻
BRO(Boarder road organisation )is working hard to patch up roads, but the problem is erosions in winter and rain. It is non stop rebuilding cycle every year. Visit again after 5 years hopefully all roads must be patched up.
Always good value viewing I agree with you I travel alone and only have loose plans I stop when I feel like it and ride some days until I am ready to drop enjoying this series Mango
Well then you know what you need to do......... I hope you enjoyed the episode, there is more t come in the series and well it does get better, this place is incredible
Wow Joe, what incredible scenery, maybe one day I’ll make it there, such stunning landscapes, thanks everyone so much for continuing to share with us all, be safe out there, never get tired of seeing this place. Take care Rob U.S.
Thank you very much for sharing such an amazing trip, I've thoroughly enjoyed every second of this series watching over several days. You make me want to journey myself
Thank you for the support Lee, it is greatly appreciated and will help with the next journey. There are still a lot of episodes to come. It is definitely a great place to ride and explore if you ever get the chance.
Thanks, mate, it’s great to hear you are enjoying the series. It’s hard to get a bad photo in the Himalayas. Wherever you look there are amazing scenes.
Loving the Himalayas series Joe having watched a few videos on the place find it interesting and reassuring how they keep an eye on the traveler’s with all the check points between the pass’s , glad you found some accommodation it seems it doesn’t matter where in the world you are you’ll always get help from a fellow biker 👍
Yes across the high mountains they try to make sure everyone makes it through. It's great how everyone looks out for each other, I am very thankful Imran was kind enough to offer his wifi then suggest a place.
I laughed out aloud when you said is my face covered in soot yet. I was actually holding my breath when you rode through it thinking that’s dirty diesel 😂 Wow,the scenery is jaw dropping 😻 Way to go Joe🫡
Yer it wasn;t the first time that has happen, just part of it up here it seems. Yes the place keeps getting better and better, you'd think I'd get sick of looking at mountains but nope, they are all truely jaw dropping.
You truly are blessed to experience this journey... Thank you for sharing this incredibly beautiful and magical place with us. Something inside of me is awakened by the sight of those mountains and the majestic barren valleys... something that transports me back in time to a youthful excitement for exploration and the curiosity about the unknown wonders that lie just over the next hill, or up the next ravine... I think I will tackle this journey before I am too old to bike the wilderness...
It is definitely worth the effort of getting there, I can't put it into words or truly capture how stunning it is in images, one of those things best experience in the flesh. It has been an amazing experience and there is still a lot more to come.
Yes, extremely hard to describe it. In fact I can’t even capture it on camera. It is actually way better in person. It’s great to hear you. Enjoyed the episode.
I am sure it will be amazing again, I think you could keep going back again and again and find new and amazing places. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
Thank you for the amazing walk down the memory lane. I have traveled to Leh twice and it never fails to amaze. Amazing Cinematography and narration. Waiting for episode 5. Kudos and safe travels!
Always great to hear you enjoyed it, an incredible day in the mountains, should I say really high mountains haha, this place just keeps getting better and better.
Wow! Incredible Joe. This part of your Motorcycle Adventure dealt you some challenges. Glad you adapt so easily. Your breathing is evident in your video. But, what an amazing country to see. Thanks for sharing with us Viewers. 👏👏👏
Well with a bit of basic knowledge on fixing your bike enough food and water to walk out of any where and ride well with in your ability it is very doable.
You had me worried there for a minute, no, not the soft stuff; thought your head was about to unscrew it was turning that much. Incredible video. Using the oxymeter gave me an idea though. I had a stroke a couple of months back and it looks like the heart may have taken a hit too as it's not functioning as it should. Imaging showed the problem (lower blood going to lungs) and oxymeter confirmed it. Getting short of breath doing the usual 10km walk with a pack to do shopping. I've never been short of breath in my life. I've shelved my wee bike project for the moment as I just keep finding more broken and missing bits. At least I have another one I can compare with and generally track down what is missing and get it ordered. I did manage to buy a fourth bike yesterday though, sight unseen. Pick it up Tuesday. Off to a learners motorbike show with my daughter on Sunday. There's no rest for the wicked and it would appear I've been particularly evil. 😉😇
yer that powder stuff can't catch you out so quickly. As always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Sorry to hear about the health issues, I hope there is stuff that can be done to get it sorted. Can never have to many bikes haha Have fun at the bile show with your daughter.
@@freewayproject I'll sort the ticker out, have just finished putting the wagon back together so finally be able to get paddling again. Yeah, bikes seem to be like paddle craft, I have 11 kayaks and 2 surfskis now. Probably 20 bicycles too. Mind you I do take youth groups so they all get well used.
Hi Joe, I'm loving the series so much that I've started to think that I really should do the same trip, thank you so much! and your photos, they are truly beautiful 🤩
It is definitely worth the effort of getting there, it is had to put into words what i is like, it a kind of "you need to experience it" kind of thing. I am going to do a video at the end of the series about going there the first time, what I learnt, hopefully some helpful information if thinking of going.
Hi Joe - I met you at Rapid Bay campground just after you arrived from Kangaroo Island, and looks like I just missed you, as I have just returned from the high passes in Ladakh myself. Your video is a great reminder of the stunning views everywhere in Ladakh. Happy travels!
Hi mate, yes I wouldn't have know about that great camp spot at Hancock's Lookout if not for you. I was up there in August, it is an amazing place to explore, there is still more to come from the journey.
I've bumped into your channel just as it appeared on my TH-cam homepage. I am very surprised to see you have only 22k subscribers. There is no doubt that your work deserve hunderds of thousands more. I truly enjoy every bit of your videos. Amazing, amazing job.
Oh what a stunning part of the world, just don't tell anyone, you don't want it spoilt. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series, it's pretty hard not to have a smile on your face here, it is incredible.
@@freewayproject if your ever passing through, you should drop by where i work, its the biggest Aircraft Museum in Australia with flying historic aircraft. 😁
Yes there are a lot of them up here. I have seen KTM's and a few other brands, I guess the price point of the RE helps and they have a large service centre up here.
I shall remember the name JOE RYAN because anytime I feel depressed, I watch his videos with his beautiful narration editing and his contagious smile. Truly Thankful to you man.
It is great to hear they bring you joy, as they bring me joy to make them
unending open spaces . its like a biker's soccer field , their paradise , a biker's pinnacle dreamland , a biker's pilgrimage .
It is definitely an incredible place to ride and explore.
what an epic journey, thanks for taking us with you. It's amazing how often, as a motorcyclist, a helping hand can just appear out of nowhere when things seem to be going a little south. Safe travels!
thank you for the support, it is greatly appreciated and will help with the next journey.
Yes amazing how that happens and the people up here in Ladakh are very friendly and kind.
National geographic level cinematography

Joe Ryan; the man, the legend. Thanks Joe. Having a beer at home on Friday night in Newcastle, and the world don't seem so bad at all.

Truly magnificent country and your videos of it are similarly spectacular. Thanks again for taking me along. Greetings from FNQ.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes it is an incredible place to ride and explore views everywhere you look.
Thanks! Lot of rock country. I bet it was nice to get in lower country where some green exists. Great video.
Thank you as always Larry. Yes it definitely is barren up there, nothing around at all. As I am on the high plato now and the mountain just go up from there it will be a lot of barren section over the next few episodes.
Outstanding as always Joe .... those two famous sentence's of yours .... cant wait to see what's around the next corner and Go with the flow ....the universe always provides for as ... love from NZ roger
Thanks Roger, as always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes it's amazing home many new things were around the next corner. Yes things seem to work out if you go with it.

As always mate I am very grateful for the support, I wouldn't be able to keep taking off with out the support I am getting.
Thank you for the magnificent scenery report once again. 🇯🇵It's been 35°C here every day, so please take care of yourself.
It definitely is magnificent, sounds very warm for Japan
I did that same route last year Joe - it’s fantastic isnt it. I was in a group (funnily enough the same tour company that you passed - Ride Expeditions).

Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes what ever bike you have will work, it's all about just getting out there and exploring.
there are people who do the leh trip on their scooters.
Love these videos i rode these roads a month ago and i missing them already it's weird how many little things i recognise looking forward to seeing your next vids
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes the place will definitely be missed. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
even northern and eastern ladakh has some brilliant canvas right across the karakoram pass which are not open for normal public. rivers and stunning gorges with vast open landscapes . hopefully some day.
That does sound amazing, hopefully one day it will be accessible
I most enjoy about your videos is that it helps me see the world through a photographers eyes. Thanks mate !!
Thanks mate, it’s awesome to hear you are enjoying the episodes and the photos, thanks for watching
Could that scenery be any more spectacular? Thanks for another brilliant video!
It is definitely other worldly, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode Chris.
Hey Joe! Wow !
I’m in Manali now head off for 15 days to Leh tomorrow. Super pumped.
Thanks for the preview!
Epic, it's going to be so good, have fun out there.
That’s a great days riding . The More plains have changed a lot . It was dirt track last time I went , thick sand . On a bullet 500 . Love your style . I was medic on many organised tours in the Himalayas . Loved it out there , but the altitude was hard for many
Definitely a great day riding, yes, I feel as if I have arrived late to the party, as it’s ending, but Steele it’s an amazing experience
Great video - definitely heading that way in the near future - now retired so no excuses.
You love it Julian, so much more happens than I can show in these episode and there is no way to capture the actual scenery as awe-inspiring as it is in real life. Don't put it off to much longer they are on a mission to pave all the roads. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely Stunning Joe it’s on my Bucket list rides
It is definitely worth being on the bucket list right up near the pointy end, it’s great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Thanks for watching.

What a journey ! Thank you for sharing this marvelous story of yours. Keep up the great mood.
Thanks mate. It’s great to hear you enjoyed another episode. It is easy to keep up a great mood when you’re writing through places like this.
These are the most amazing videos for a Royal Enfield owner ❤. (Just a little comment: the altitude in meters is a bit off hahaha it is 4.739,8 m 10:14 )

it's great to hear you are enjoying the series and yes you are right it is an epic and breath-taking journey.
it certainly is a photographers dream that is for sure.
Definitely, the biggest decision is when to stop
LOL! Every time you encountered those diesel fumes you had me literally holding my breath. Some of those magnificent views started to bring on a vertigo attack ha ha. Ever thought about packing a parachute 🤣 Nice one Joe 👍
Yes lost of hold my breath but at altitude it has it's own dangers haha. Yes a truly stunning and an incredible day on the bike. It's great to hear you enjoyed it.
Awesome episode Joe, the music you used just accentuates the grandeur. It's even breath-taking from this side of the screen!
Thanks mate, it’s always great to hear you. Enjoy the episode.
Amazing views. Rides to Himalayas are memorable and that too on Himalayan. Enjoy and have a safe adventurous ride.
Thanks, mate, yes, it is an amazing experience riding through the Himalayas, I hope you enjoyed the episode
I love all your videos. You cover everything possible in your episodes. If possible please include drone shots also as this will enhance the experience and the viewers will get more to know about the beauty of Ladakh.

@@anuragverma3776 The Himalayas were incredible riding and exploring there is like discovering a different world.
There are restrictions on flying drones in the area so I am sticking to the rules and flying where I am allow as I don't want to get into trouble as I want to be able to come back to this amazing place.

Yes, I found the middle section. Extremely dusty, it’s great to hear you enjoyed this episode.
Loving the Himalayas series Joe having watched a few videos on the place find it interesting and reassuring how they keep an eye on the traveler’s with all the check points between the pass’s , glad you found some accommodation it seems it doesn’t matter where in the world you are you’ll always get help from a fellow biker 👍

Yes I was too riding over all those passes, another incredible day on the bike. It's great to know you enjoyed it.
I laughed out aloud when you said is my face covered in soot yet.
I was actually holding my breath when you rode through it thinking that’s dirty diesel 😂
Wow,the scenery is jaw dropping 😻
Way to go Joe🫡
Yer it wasn;t the first time that has happen, just part of it up here it seems. Yes the place keeps getting better and better, you'd think I'd get sick of looking at mountains but nope, they are all truely jaw dropping.
Another epic ride your sharing with us!

Great Job, Joe! One of the best motorcycle channels to date.
Thanks mate, it is great to hear you are enjoying the series
Amazing as always Joe! The pics are awesome! Deb panics every time you stop close to an edge, but, as long as she can hold my hand, it's ok.... 🤣
Thanks as always mate. Let Deb know I survive so no matter how precious it may look no harm came to Joe (or the bike).
@@freewayproject she's a worrier..... 😂
You truly are blessed to experience this journey... Thank you for sharing this incredibly beautiful and magical place with us. Something inside of me is awakened by the sight of those mountains and the majestic barren valleys... something that transports me back in time to a youthful excitement for exploration and the curiosity about the unknown wonders that lie just over the next hill, or up the next ravine... I think I will tackle this journey before I am too old to bike the wilderness...
It is definitely worth the effort of getting there, I can't put it into words or truly capture how stunning it is in images, one of those things best experience in the flesh. It has been an amazing experience and there is still a lot more to come.
There are no words to describe the nature. But JOE RYAN u described it with ur visual. U ROCK. Keeping going. Enjoy.
Yes, extremely hard to describe it. In fact I can’t even capture it on camera. It is actually way better in person. It’s great to hear you. Enjoyed the episode.
The outro Photos are always a nice touch.
It's great to hear you enjoy them.
I always enjoy your videos
Thanks mate, it’s always great to hear you enjoyed the episode
I have been to ladakh and spiti few times.. really enjoyed the nature and landscape..but after watching your videos i am going again..loved ur videos

Yes, that was definitely full colour, great ride, feeling inspired!
It is just stunning everywhere you look up here. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Thank you for the amazing walk down the memory lane. I have traveled to Leh twice and it never fails to amaze. Amazing Cinematography and narration. Waiting for episode 5. Kudos and safe travels!
You are welcome mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. It is an amazing place to ride and explore as you would know.
Thank you, Joe. What a great journey. So, like your just go attitude . Hope to get there one day soon. Look forward to the next video.
It's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode Robert. Definitely worth the effort of getting here it is an incredible place to ride and explore
Saw the notification in afternoon, finally came home from work , having evening snack with you on tv . Great video loved it ❤
Always great to hear you enjoyed it, an incredible day in the mountains, should I say really high mountains haha, this place just keeps getting better and better.
Wow! Incredible Joe. This part of your Motorcycle Adventure dealt you some challenges. Glad you adapt so easily. Your breathing is evident in your video. But, what an amazing country to see. Thanks for sharing with us Viewers. 👏👏👏
Yes lots of fun on the way and this place just keeps delivering with the views. Always great to hear you enjoyed the episode
Epic journey in a group. But, going solo as a non resident is off the charts, what a good experience for you. Travel on my brother.
Yes, any journey in the Himalayas would be epic, including in a group but as you say solo, it is mine blowing, thanks for watching
Best episode yet. Amazing! You will have a huge following before you know it. Keep up the adventure!
Thanks Jason, it's great to hear you enjoyed this episode. It definitely was an amazing day on the bike riding through the high passes
Absolutely mesmerizing Joe!
Yes Tim the place is definitely that mesmerising, it was another epic day on the bike. It's great to hear you enjoyed this one.
Thanks Joe, another brilliant installment of your epic adventure. Look after yourself mate.
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode Brad
Wow....love the pics!!
It's great to hear you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
Love your thoughts on the group tour. Just wish I had the balls to do what you do. Great video as always.
Well with a bit of basic knowledge on fixing your bike enough food and water to walk out of any where and ride well with in your ability it is very doable.
Thank you yet again for a great episode Joe. Loving your journey through the Himalayas.
you're welcome Ali, it always great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
great video ! perfect balance talking, music, and, natural sounds , Thanks
Thanks Michal, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
You had me worried there for a minute, no, not the soft stuff; thought your head was about to unscrew it was turning that much. Incredible video. Using the oxymeter gave me an idea though. I had a stroke a couple of months back and it looks like the heart may have taken a hit too as it's not functioning as it should. Imaging showed the problem (lower blood going to lungs) and oxymeter confirmed it. Getting short of breath doing the usual 10km walk with a pack to do shopping. I've never been short of breath in my life.
I've shelved my wee bike project for the moment as I just keep finding more broken and missing bits. At least I have another one I can compare with and generally track down what is missing and get it ordered. I did manage to buy a fourth bike yesterday though, sight unseen. Pick it up Tuesday. Off to a learners motorbike show with my daughter on Sunday. There's no rest for the wicked and it would appear I've been particularly evil. 😉😇
yer that powder stuff can't catch you out so quickly. As always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Sorry to hear about the health issues, I hope there is stuff that can be done to get it sorted.
Can never have to many bikes haha
Have fun at the bile show with your daughter.
@@freewayproject I'll sort the ticker out, have just finished putting the wagon back together so finally be able to get paddling again. Yeah, bikes seem to be like paddle craft, I have 11 kayaks and 2 surfskis now. Probably 20 bicycles too. Mind you I do take youth groups so they all get well used.
That was great!
I loved that you pointed out all the rock formations, amazing.
Thanks for sharing. 🤩
it was an incredible days ride. Yes som much variation up here. As always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Hi Joe, I'm loving the series so much that I've started to think that I really should do the same trip, thank you so much! and your photos, they are truly beautiful 🤩
It is definitely worth the effort of getting there, it is had to put into words what i is like, it a kind of "you need to experience it" kind of thing. I am going to do a video at the end of the series about going there the first time, what I learnt, hopefully some helpful information if thinking of going.
Hi Joe - I met you at Rapid Bay campground just after you arrived from Kangaroo Island, and looks like I just missed you, as I have just returned from the high passes in Ladakh myself. Your video is a great reminder of the stunning views everywhere in Ladakh. Happy travels!
Hi mate, yes I wouldn't have know about that great camp spot at Hancock's Lookout if not for you. I was up there in August, it is an amazing place to explore, there is still more to come from the journey.
@@freewayproject Ha! I was there in August too!
Glad you went to Hancocks, great spot to camp.
I've bumped into your channel just as it appeared on my TH-cam homepage. I am very surprised to see you have only 22k subscribers. There is no doubt that your work deserve hunderds of thousands more. I truly enjoy every bit of your videos. Amazing, amazing job.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoying the series.
Joe! No words is right!
It was an incredible day of riding, very hard to describe. As always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
@@freewayproject All your days are incredible 😊 Take care.
What a place on earth... And ur bike...
It is an incredible place to ride and explore, thanks for watching.
Loving this series Joe, your smile and not being fazed by anything is a joy. Cheers from the south coast NSW.
Oh what a stunning part of the world, just don't tell anyone, you don't want it spoilt. It's great to hear you are enjoying the series, it's pretty hard not to have a smile on your face here, it is incredible.
@@freewayproject if your ever passing through, you should drop by where i work, its the biggest Aircraft Museum in Australia with flying historic aircraft. 😁
@@DebOxy Ah right near the lake, I have seen it riding through earlier this year, will do next time I am riding past.
@@freewayproject thats it, cant miss it, there is a 747 jumbo jet parked at the door 🥴
LOTS of Royal Enfield bikes. Seems to be the bike of choice in the Himalayans (if not the only choice).
Yes there are a lot of them up here. I have seen KTM's and a few other brands, I guess the price point of the RE helps and they have a large service centre up here.
plenty of other choices available (both from Indian and foreign companies) but people here prefer REs for these adventures
Great video... great commentary.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the series.
One of my bucket lists, good viewing Joe. Watched you Kiwi Saga in the Sth Island NZ. Safe journeys.......
Definitely worthy of being on the bucket list. It is an amazing place to ride and explore. Thanks for the support of watching both of the series.
Damn photos at the end are just stunning
Thanks mate, it the little bonus for the people who watch to the end. It's great to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
